Mother can't understand why black robber beat and cracked skull of her 97-lb daughterCLEVELAND -- The mother of a 27-year-old Medina woman beaten during a robbery can't understand why the suspect did it. "She's 97 pounds, five feet tall and he's over six feet, 210 pounds," said Betty Townsend. "And he could have scared her just by looking at her. That's what's so awful to me. Why did he have to hit her so hard?" Her daughter, Missy Townsend, is one of two women from Medina County recovering from head injuries after they were beaten during robberies on the same night, possibly victims of the same man. Townsend's skull was badly fractured last week by a man who attacked her outside the Medina apartment she shares with her mother. The attacker took her purse and cell phone. An hour later, the same man is believed to have attacked another young woman outside her apartment in nearby Brunswick. - (John Harlan via Hellcat)

UK's 'Mr. Bean' Attacks Religious Hatred BillBritish comedian Rowan Atkinson -- creator of the hapless "Mr Bean" -- attacked a planned law outlawing incitement of religious hatred on Monday, saying it would curb free speech and humour. Atkinson believes the measure now passing through parliament will make religion virtually off-limits to satirists. It might even, he fears, lead to prosecutions, not only for some of his own sketches but for others like Monty Python's "Life of Brian," which was criticized on its release in 1979 for being anti-Christian. "Freedom of expression must be protected for artists and entertainers," he said. "We must not accept a bar on the lampooning of religion and religious leaders." - (The Bobster)

Hate Crime Laws: A Savage Hypocrisy - by Sara Townsley
Sentencing Cartman for committing a hate crime, the South Park judge explains: "I am making an example out of you, to send a message to people everywhere: if you want to hurt another human being ... you better make damn sure they're the same color as you are."

As the South Park kids eloquently argue, all crimes are hate crimes. By perpetuating unequal treatment under the law, hate crime laws simply reinforce divisions between different ethnic groups. Further, their primary function is to criminalize a person's thoughts during the commission of a crime, in a far more insidious way than the law's traditional focus on the accused's level of intent. By ratcheting up penalties for crimes committed against members of protected classes, they assign greater value to some people over others. Not insignificantly, there is also the problem of the Fourteenth Amendment's ban on laws that classify persons on the basis of race. And hate crimes statistics are manipulated to create the appearance of a crisis where one does not necessarily exist. - (Hellcat)

Nigerian Catholic Priest flees to Africa after charged with rape of retarded girl in Texas
A priest accused of sexually abusing a mentally retarded girl in South Texas fled to his native Nigeria a few days before a warrant could be issued for his arrest and prosecutors have not tried to force him back to face charges. DA Rene Guerra said he supports returning the Rev. Basil Onyia to face the sexual assault and abuse charges against him, but added that he lacked the resources to find Onyia.
